In an interview today with Angie Martinez of Hot 97, the artist reflected on her single season behind the judging table of American Idol and made it as clear as can be: it totally and completely sucked!

The America's Got Talent host turns 33 today and wife Mariah Carey gave Internet users a pretty good idea of how she plans to celebrate the occasion with her man, posting a selfie online and including with the cleavage shot a caption that reads:

Mariah Carey celebrated out nation's 237th birthday last night by sitting on a stack of hay - and by not lip-synching!

Indeed, the singer - who many believe was not exactly performing live at this year's BET Awards - took the stage last night at the Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular, performing her latest hit alongside Miguel.
